Brian Humphreys is living his dream of playing college golf.
On Monday, May 15, the Boise State University freshman from Washougal will tee off in his first NCAA Regional at the par-70, 6,727-yard Stanford Golf Course, in Stanford, California.
“My coach said it’s a great golf course for me and a great golf course overall,” Humphreys said. “It would be awesome to move on to nationals. The easiest way is to be the top individual.
“I know that’s a high expectation,” he added. “The field is going to be a lot tougher, but all you can hope for is to play your best and come out on top.”
Humphreys is playing his best golf when it counts.
The 2016 Camas High School graduate became the first freshman to win the Mountain West Championships April 23, in Tucson, Arizona. He shot 12-under on the par-72 Catalina Course at the Omni Tucson National Resort.
“I was hoping for something special. This caught me by surprise,” Humphreys said. “I got to play with some fantastic players, but I hung with them.
